No, Putin invaded Ukraine after many years of Civil War with Ukraine between Kiev and the ethnic Russians in the east. After the elected Ukrainian President was overthrown by a violent insurrection, supported by the United States, the civil war broke out and ethnic Russians were being killed.
History has shown that Russia will always come to the aid of Slavs being killed by others. And here we had Russian speaking Slavs being killed. Why was Kiev killing and persecuting these Russian speaking “Ukrainians”? Because of course they rejected the illegitimate government in Kiev installed by the United States.
So the US warmongering policy is to blame for the whole situation. The US sent over warmongers like John McCain, Victoria Nuland, Lindsay Graham, John Kerry, and Amy Klobuchar to dictate to the Ukrainians who was allowed to “run” for President.
Russia saw this as interference in a country the US long ago promised to be neutral with, and had promised to never expand NATO into. Of course warmongers like Obama and Biden could care less about such promises made decades before, so they supported the coup.
All you have to do is look at a map of Eastern Europe of 1900, or even as far back as 1800, to see all that land has historically been Russia. The Russians were the ones that defeated the evil Ottoman Empire and drove them out of Crimea.
But hey, it’s probably easier if you just ignore all those facts and the actual history of Ukraine, like the fact that its borders were drawn up by Russian Bolsheviks during the USSR in order to shoehorn in a bunch of ethnic Russians into the satellite Ukrainian State.
So just keep ignoring the facts and call Putin a Nazi or something, even though the Ukrainians were actual supporters of Nazism and their national hero is a Nazi named Stepan Bandera.
